SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 10 – While
many even most
cases in the
Magistrates
Court of the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York are
sealed or have
case numbers
given only
later, on September
10
Magistrate
Judge James
L. Cott
ordered
detained a man
named
Williams, in a
shirt that
said "Evans"
on the back,
citing his
prior gang
affiliation.

But
which gang?
And what
docket number?
It was a day
without any
New
Presentments
list in which
corporate law
behind a
paywall seemed
to be the
major focus in
the SDNY.

And so,
also without
docket number
given, after
an unopposed
appointment of
counsel for a
Unique Jones
in a DOC shirt
writted in
from Rikers,
was the case
of US v. The
Man From New
Hampshire,
ordered to
return there
by September
16 but
released on
his own
recognisance.
That is what
the US
Attorney's
Office
requested,
despite
concerns
raised by Pre
Trial Services
and Judge Cott
himself. An
unnamed
Assistant US
Attorney in
the District
Court for the
District of
New Hampshire
said it would
all be fine.
We'll try to
follow this
case -- if and
when it can
learn the
docket number,
without any
New
Presentment
notices.
And Inner City
Press will
definitely
follow the New
Hampshire
primaries.

A case
on September 6
that wasn't
sealed
involved Ari
Teman who
allegedly
deposited
counterfeit
checks into a
bank account
in Florida,
then
transferred
and withdrew
$4000 of the
funds from the
same bank at a
branch in
Manhattan.
Back on June
20, 2019, by
coincidence
before the
same
Magistrate
Judge who
eight weeks
later released
Teman on a
$25,000
personal
recognisance
bond, NYPD
Detective
Daniel
Alessandrino
swore out that
Teman for the
scheme used
his company
GateGuard Inc,
based in New
York, NY
(212-203-3714).
Why Teman
thought he
could deposit
over $200,000
in funds from
companies
which exist
but had not
authorized the
payment is not
known. His
lawyer is
Joseph A.
DiRuzzo of
Fort
Lauderdale,
Florida, with
a notice of
appearance
first
digitally
signed, then
re-filed
upside down.
Inner City
Press will
continue to
follow this
case - watch
this site.

In the
still-sealed
19-cr-627 the
four
defendants,
each with
their own
lawyer - three
CJAs and
presumably one
Federal
Defender -
each got a
different bail
package, with
two remanded
until they
meet the
conditions.
Two were
ordered to
stay two
blocks away
from Amsterdam
Avenue between
155th and
159th Street.
Two can't be
so ordered,
because they
live there.
They were
given home
confinement.

One,
whose name we
will not
publish, is a
high school
student.
Portrayed by
Assistant US
Attorney Brett
Kalikow as the
leader and
supplier was
Keith Green,
who seemed to
get the
Federal
Defender. She
said his
shoulder had
popped out and
could the
Marshals only
handcuff him
to the front.
Granted.
Second was
Isaiah Ward of
Metropolitan
Avenue,
released on
his own
signature and
later a
$50,000 bond
to be signed
by two
financially
responsible
people.

Fourth
was Lucian
Rogers with an
outstanding
bench warrant.
Judge Netburn
urged him to
take care of
it, releasing
him on his own
signature
perhaps for
this
reason.
All four were
given a
control date
before
District Judge
Victor Marrero
on October 18,
with
apparently
more
defendants
coming in.
Tracking the
case in PACER,
however, is
problematic
given the
seal. More on
Patreon here.

Inner City Press
will continue to cover this
and other SDNY and 2nd Circuit
cases - watch this site, and there is
more on
Patreon, here.
